Ironclad miniatures steam Walker and armoured carriage.
Just off the production line and ready to be pressed into service, Hurrah

Lovely stuff, Especially the Walker. It has a real "built by eccentric Victorian inventor in his private workshop" sort of look to it :love:

I do like the way you use the camera to gain a "worm's eye view" of large or tall models.

Her Majesty [Gaud bless 'er!] must sleep well at night, knowing she has such marvels to guard her

The walker looks very much like an attempt at imitating Martian War Machines - Ilike it

The bathtub tank is my favourite, though. God save HM!

Bah! The Prussians will quickly learn that the walker sports a machine gun only and it has a limited fire arc. Soon, they'll be swarming up the legs and riding atop the monstrosity to victory!

SHould have followed that whole diatribe with "What?"

Just playing Her Majesty's trusted cavalry general who feels all these new fangled contraptions are no match for a good cavalry charge. :

The general has been overhead, and a telegram despatched.

The Junkers are ready.

Very Heath Robinson! I really like this project, keep it up!

All very nice these contraptions but no panache and where is the glory of the charge, Guidon flapping in the wind, thud thud of horse hooves and the joy of mucking out and smelling of horse p**!

I think I may have to order some of those!

Tally Ho!

Indeed I secretly agree with you, but you can't stop progress :

: It will be interesting to see how the Prussian Cuirassiers and Uhlans square up to these at the battle of Kew

The first Regiment of Curassiers will ride around in a heroic manner waving their swords about and talking about invading Poland etc, the 2nd Regt are now equipped with steam tanks!

Tally Ho!

Meanwhile I have just ordered one of the walkers, and another small steam tank, wonderful thing this internet!

Tally Ho!
